I have an EV charger but also solar panels so Charge Anytime is not available to me.  I think I have to wait until OVO have worked out how to estimate the amount taken from the grid to charge my EV.  Is this understanding correct?  Is there no tariff that as an EV driver which is beneficial for me?

Hi @kate157 you can use Charge Anytime with solar if you have an Indra Smart Pro charger, I believe

Unfortunately I don’t have an Indra Smart Pro charger.

That is the only option at present but it is an available option

I can’t see why Anytime can’t be available during night time hours for example, easiest interim solution and technically should be easy to implement - in theory.   (I think Smarthome were looking for users to volunteer to work with them over an Anytime for solar users)

Hey @Maverick,

 

I’ll ask about this internally, see if there are any updates.
